Description

REISSUE: 

In the strictest sense of the word this is not a 'reissue' as the coupling of these two songs on one 45 had never seen the light of day during the original Immediate heyday of 1965 - 1969. 

From my private collection. I purchased this when it came out in Canada - played once carefully. No skips, no jumps.

NEAR MINT

DAFFODIL RECORDS: a Canadian independent record label in the tradition of Island and Immediate records, was co-founded in Canada in 1971, by Frank Davies, who had previously been associated in the United Kingdom with Liberty Records and EMI Records. The label was owned by Love Productions Ltd. and had a sister label named Strawberry. Originally distributed by Capitol Records (Canada) Ltd. then later GRT Of Canada. During his time with EMI Records in London Davies meet the owners of the original Immediate label as EMI was the manufacturer/distributor of Immediate in later years. 

After setting up Daffodil and having success with Canadian blues boogie band Crowbar, Davies negotiated a deal with Andrew Loog Oldham and issued the "Immediate (UK) Series"  starting in 1972 and concluding the year after. The distinctive series featured shiny metallic foil LP covers and included several that had never been released in North America including the first Immediate Small Faces LP (UK version) and  Humble Pie's Town & Country LP.  Humble Pie was having enormous success in North America as well as Emerson, Lake & Palmer (featuring Keith Emerson previously on Immediate as a member of The Nice). Large quantities of Daffodil's Immediate UK Series (especially Humble Pie and The Nice LPs) were exported to the USA and other countries to fill the demand of Humble Pie and ELP's earlier recordings. In total there were 16 LPs and 6 singles reissued through Daffodil plus one 45 on Strawberry (Rod Stewart's Little Miss Understood).

What sets Daffodil apart from many of the subsequent labels that issued Immediate catalog was their quality control, top-notch vinyl, true stereo separation (like the originals) as well as masters that came directly from Andrew Oldham's personal archives.

While having overall success with "The Immediate UK Series" there were a few titles that didn't do as well like Small Faces "Autumn Stone" double LP as well as the singles. Apart from the obvious Small Faces 45 reissues likely the Daffodil/Immediate 45s were issued to promote the LPs. In comparison few 45s were exported making them more valuable than most of the LPs.
